With the unofficial start to summer just a week away, now is the perfect time to start thinking about summer side dishes!

Low-Carb Broccoli Stem Gratin

May 18, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Low-Carb Broccoli Stem Gratin is everything we love about a good gratin; it’s a rich, creamy, and cheesy side dish that you can pair with any number of things, from roast chicken to grilled steak. And bonus, this version uses broccoli stems so they don’t go to waste! Most of us hear the word gratin and think potato. And most of us hear broccoli stem and think toss it.

May 9, 2018 by Faith 2 Comments

Zoup! provided me with product for the purpose of this post, as well as compensation for my time. As always, all opinions expressed in this post are my own. In Putting 5 Store-Bought Chicken Broths to the Test, I considered color, smell, taste, and ingredient list. You might be surprised at the results, I know I was! A while ago, I used to regularly watch Ina Garten’s TV show Barefoot Contessa. There are so many endearing things about Ina, but one of the things I love most is her candor. In this particular episode I’m remembering, she was making chicken stock; she was going on […]...
